General and clinical pathology
(objectives)
The course of General and Clinical Pathology aims to provide students with the notions of general pathology and clinical pathology, also in the field of laboratory diagnosis. The student must learn the molecular mechanisms of cell damage, the response of the cell and the organism to damage, the molecular basis of the neoplastic transformation and progression, and some of the main disease markers that can be measured in a clinical laboratory. In addition, the student has to know the main techniques of molecular biology, flow cytometry and cytogenetics for the diagnosis and monitoring of blood diseases and the role of laboratory activities for an integrated clinical management of the hematological patient. These objectives will be achieved through lectures designed to facilitate learning and improve the ability to address and resolve the main questions of general, cellular and clinical pathology and the diagnostic questions from the oncohematology laboratory, which the student will have to face during his future activity.

Module: Technical sciences of laboratory medicine
(objectives)
The specific educational objectives of the course include the acquisition of the main techniques of molecular biology, flow cytometry and cytogenetics for the diagnosis and monitoring of blood diseases. It also explores the role of laboratory activities for an integrated clinical management of the hematological patient. The course aims to provide the fundamental technical knowledge in all the laboratory sectors applied to Oncohematology , in particular to Cytofluorimetry, Molecular Biology and Cytogenetics. The objectives will be achieved through lectures and interactive educational activities,designed to facilitate learning and improve the ability to deal with and resolve the main ones diagnostic questions from the oncohematology laboratory.
